i got a similar issue, so i uninstalled stalker, reinstalled, then patched to the latest version, and THEN installed the stalker complete base, finally i installed the patch, and presto, 80 fps maxed out with no crashed in 40 hours of gameplay (and im running those ****** ati 9.4 hotfix drivers XD)

yeah come on guys. this could rival black mesa mod and neotokyo, and could be better. besides it has to be good if i heard about its development as early as december 2007. even the alpha trailer with untextured mechs looked good. this mod looks amazing so could you at the least tell which quarter of the year its coming out in?
